It would be D because there is more gravitational forces acting on it than a small block of wood

If the objects are all at the same distance from the center
of the Earth, then the gravitational forces between the Earth
and each object only depend on the mass of each object. 
Those forces are least for the 5kg object, and greatest for
the 2,540kg object. 

The gravitational force that attracts each object toward the
center of the Earth is typically referred to as the object's "weight".

It's important to know that there's another force of gravity ... the one
that attracts the Earth toward the object.  And that one is equal to
the object's weight, but pulls in the opposite direction.

Your weight on the Earth is equal to the Earth's weight on you.

Snowcat [4.5K]
I’m guessing is because she uses force to throw the ball, allowing the energy to move the person.

Can you solve a simple physics problem
mart [117]

Answer:

0.41

Explanation:

A 49 N block has a mass of 5 kg:

49/9.8

A horizontal force of 50 N giving it an acceleration of 6 m/s^2 means that 30 N is taken up by the acceleration

This leaves 20 N to take care for friction. so the coefficient of friction is:

20/49 = 0.41.

If you walk 15m west and 7m east. what is your displacement?
choli [55]

If we consider our origin to be zero then if we walk 15m west then back 7m east our displacement would be the difference (since west and east are opposite directions to one another).

15m - 7m = 8m

And so, we are 8 meters away from our origin, thus our displacement is 8 meters.
